This new BitTorrent program makes network file sharing between devices easier than ever. As opposed to all the stuff you usually find on BitTorrent

I use BitTorrent to transfer stuff all of the time.
I blew a colleagues mind the other day when he needed to send me a 150MB PSD file, and was asking me whether it was better to use something like Mega or get some Windows Folder sharing action on the go (in the same office, neither of us had a USB key handy).
I pointed out that he could create a torrent of the file and send me the magnet link, and I could torrent it over the LAN. Doesn't matter if one of us restarts our computer etc (or the connection drops, we have a pretty choppy LAN at the best of times), it will just pick up where it left off.
Literally any time I need to transfer big files from anywhere to anywhere else, I just get BitTorrent on the go and let it work away.
Awesome technology, shame it has a reputation for being only used for copyright infringement!

New research finds that, contrary to popular belief, restructuring software code to be more maintainable and efficient may not be worth the time and effort. "How can you mend a broken heart?"

|
|
The research needs a re-factoring.

My conclusion after reading the article:
"Don't rely on college students to analyze or refactor your code"
|

|
|

We have a winner!

Bullshit. At the very least, if you're refactoring bad code at least you aren't writing more bad code. QED.
|
|
|
|

I kind of agree, refactoring for the sake of refactoring is kind of pointless!...
Refactoring to fix bug or refactoring to add new feature or change behavior! Or refactoring what is still fresh in your mind but you came with a better idea!
Now that is different!....

That wasn't a study, it was a pointless attempt to gain some graduate students media attention.
A study with one, count 'em one data point isn't a study; it's advertising.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I’ve been getting a bit cross about backward compatibility recently. This post contains two examples of backward incompatibilities in .NET 4.6, and one example of broken code which isn’t being fixed due for backward compatibility reasons. "Time may change me, but I can't trace time"

For those of us that work with OSISoft's PI system... it is.

Oh, no... back to therapy... 
Here's a comment I wrote nearly twenty years ago:
// The version of PI we are currently running does not include pisn_sendexcepstruc which we want to use
// so it is commented out and pisn_sendexceptions is used instead.
// When pisn_sendexcepstruc becomes available, this should be changed
// pisn_sendexcepstruc(line_array [line].tag [index].pt ,
// line_array [line].tag [index].type ,
// &(line_array [line].tag [index].except) ,
// &(line_array [line].tag [index].count));

Oooo... API calls... been using the SDK for so long now, I forgot out all of that joy.
Mind you, my experience goes back to Toolkit calls when it was on VAX/VMS.

Yes. This was that. The fall of 1995. The guy who hired me called it "an Alpha-based VAX", which makes no sense at all, like saying "Pentium-based 486".

VAX/VMS was originally a 32bit system. In the early '90s it was ported to the Alpha chip (64bit)
Perhaps you were being informed you would be working on the 64bit (Alpha-based) version?
